AURORA –Aurora will receive $1.2 million in funds to boost the local business community, thanks to Assistant Senate Majority Leader Linda Holmes (D-Aurora).
The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity will provide grants to enhance and revitalize local businesses, made possible by Illinois’ historic Rebuild Illinois Capital Program, legislation supported by Holmes in 2019.
“This funding will assist our city in creating new jobs and growing our economy,” Holmes said. “Like many cities, Aurora and its business community need resources to address not only further recovery and services from the pandemic, but also public safety issues.”
